Ban-galore

I was beginning to think they had spent considerable amount of thought while naming the city.
1. Pubs and discos are closed at 11:30PM, a time when most party-going mortals start to leave their homes.
2. Dancing is banned everywhere. If you so much as tap your foot standing on the bus-stop, you will be jailed for unethical behaviour.
3. There are no new movies showing. When they eventually manage to find their way to the city, the third sequels have already hit the TV channels.
4. Every other road is dug up for the metro. If it isn't dug up for the metro, it is dug up for civic work. If it isn't dug up at all, it is choked with traffic. Oh well.

Little wonder that they call this garden city Ban-Galore?
